BLAINE, Wash. (AP) - The Whatcom County sheriff's office says an 18-year-old man who was taking a joyride on a steamroller was killed early Tuesday when the vehicle overturned and pinned him.

Sheriff's Sgt. Larry Flynn says the 18-year-old and two 17-year-old boys had entered a construction site in Blaine and started up some equipment. He says the 18-year-old was driving the steamroller up a dirt pile when it overturned, killing him instantly.......

Seems like there is a competition on who can have the dumbest death lately...

Lets see here:
2 girls laying on a railroad track to tan (both survived)
2 kids laying in a street to look at the stars (both survived)
18 yr old drives a steamroller uphill and topples over.

The darwin awards are going to be packed this year.

How the hell can you overturn a steamroller? The goddamn thing goes like 0.5 mph.

Oh, nm, reading comprehension FTW. I didn't see he was trying to drive it up a dirt pile.

Don't forget the running across 4 lanes of highway to snap pics of accident on the other side and get run over in the process.
